BigFLUX® High Efficiency Magnetic Matrices
NewGAPS is a company specialized in technological solutions for the recovery of fine and ultrafine iron ore particles for Jones/WHIMS type magnetic separators. Through studies and tests in laboratories, NewGAPS developed the new BigFLUX® magnetic matrices, which are revolutionizing magnetic separation. Its new grooved plates with large teeth – PITCH and the new design – OFFSET amplify the magnetic field and magnetic gradients allowing greater efficiency for the process of concentration of magnetic minerals.
BigFLUX® Magnetic Matrices with FlexGAP® Technology
In addition to the BigFLUX® technology, NewGAPS presents another great innovation, the BigFLUX® magnetic matrices with FlexGAP® technology - adjustable GAP, which allows you to easily adjust the distance between the ends of the grooved plates - called GAP. These new technologies are providing great benefits for magnetic separation, as they are recovering not only the fine iron ore particles, but also the ultrafine ones below 10 microns, hitherto wasted in the tailings.
